Ceilidh Band for old time dancing

This week Amy will lead sets from last Tuesday as well as leading the historic set Taladh Chriosta (mp3)  and  Chi mi muile (I see Mull) – mp3. Yes the music looks easy but can we make a group arrangement with harmonies?

This week Amy will lead  sets  done last Tuesday (see tabs on teaching page to access these) as well as leading our historic arrangement of the Wren. The score looks fearsome but most folk will be playing the Fiddle 1 part.

First half hour will  – slowly going over Taladh Chriosda & Chi Mi Muile (I See Mull)  as well as Rowan Tree, The-Reel of Tullochgorum-The Stronsay Wedding set. Thereafter other sets (as on teaching page under Tuesday 7 pm tab) including Tommy Hughes with harmonies and chords will be played.

Tunes include Riddell Tower, Montgomery Bell Waltz (have a listen) and the  Wren Fiddle 1 with  arrangements and some harmonies.
